Noteworthy Printer Specs To Check

Christmas is the season to spend, though not everyone gets to experience splurging to buy goodies, gifts and gadgets for this Christmas, still we should be thankful for what we already have and for those blessings that will come. For those who are planning or would like to have a new printer equipment this month of December, take note of these important printer specifications that you should know before you make that purchase.

It's typical for a consumer to research about a particular product, especially if they really want that item but still hesitating to purchase with all the doubts in their head. So one way to eliminate those doubts is by checking the item beforehand, description, quality, specifications and all, factors that you should learn about that particular product so you won't end up wasting your hard earned money. 

For consumers who would like to purchase a new printer, whether to replace your old equipment or you just want a new one, these printer specifications indicated from this post should really be noteworthy.

First would be monthly duty cycle. This one does really matter, though it may be considered as not the most important one. How is this thing spec so important? The monthly duty cycle of a printer indicates the durability and work load capacity of an equipment, a primary metric that a business or a large office could use to determine the appropriate printer for their working environment. However, for users who prefer personal printers, monthly duty cycle may not appear from the printer specs since these type of printers are built for lower printing demands.




Next on our list would be the printer's page yield. A new printer always comes with a set of initial laser toner cartridges or ink cartridges, about half way full of inks or toners, but regardless of the provided initial set, page-yield is a spec that is provided from the printer's overall specifications. Page yield indicates the number of pages that can be printer based from the installed cartridges on the printer. However, it may still vary depending on how much you print and what you often print. 




Third would be the printer's resolution. Print resolution and scan resolution are two factors that should be considered. Though printer manufacturers have manipulated this factor: improving image quality without adjusting the dpi into larger size that exceeds the typical dots-per-inch resolution which is 600 x 600. A true 1200 x 1200 dpi print resolution can produce exceptional printouts. When talking about scan resolution, 300 dpi would be just enough, to effectively measure the printer's scan resolution check the specs and look for "Optical Resolution", but take note that higher scan resolution may lead to slow scan time.
